Robert Barnhart has a BA in comparative religion from Emory University in Atlanta, GA.
He has been a strong advocate for the study of psychoactive materials in spiritual and nontraditional healing practices.
He is currently producing a documentary film about the use of these medicines in healing practices.
Robert has been a longtime
MAPS member and has been one of the primary funders of our Swiss LSD study as well as numerous other MAPS projects.
Robert spends most of his time with his family. He says that the wisdom, love, and compassion that he learned through taking psychedelics has allowed him to make his four-year-old daughter the primary focus of his energy.
In his early 30s, Robert directed most of his assets away from the petroleum industry and now continues to work to reallocate them into socially and environmentally conscious investments. With an understanding that was highlighted by positive affirmations with nature while on psychedelics, he wishes to support organizations that will leave the world healthy and livable for his children and grandchildren.
